“As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption”...so said Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech on March 14, 1968, just three weeks before he was assassinated.

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who [1971]

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

This is Track 08 of the Who's album - Who's next. Played onstage at the Young Vic (and staying in the live set for years), this is the second version recorded at Olympic. Initially considered as a single it only achieved this aim in the USA later in 1971.

"Behind Blue Eyes"

No one knows what it's likeTo be the bad manTo be the sad manBehind blue eyes

No one knows what it's likeTo be hatedTo be fatedTo telling only lies

But my dreamsThey aren't as emptyAs my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonelyMy love is vengeanceThat's never free

No one knows what it's likeTo feel these feelingsLike I doAnd I blame you

No one bites back as hardOn their angerNone of my pain and woeCan show through

But my dreamsThey aren't as emptyAs my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonelyMy love is vengeanceThat's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it openBefore I use it and lose my coolWhen I smile, tell me some bad newsBefore I laugh and act like a fool
